Gears of War embodies Microsoft's strongest push yet for the Xbox Play Anywhere promotion. Play Anywhere is a platform on which PC and Xbox players are drawn close together.
Nvidia announced yesterday that gamers who purchase certain Nvidia Geforce GTX graphics processing units will also get a free Windows 10 copy of Gears of War 4, Polygon reports.
This awesome deal applies only to selected versions of the GTX 1080 and GTX 1070, 2 of Nvidia's latest models. Certain laptop and desktop PCs that include any of the aforementioned GTX cards will also get the game for free.
How about GTX 1060?
Although the card is affordable but still recommended by Microsoft to play the game, the model doesn't come with a free Gears of War 4 game, unfortunately.
How about 4K gaming?
Yes, Gears of War 4 supports 4K resolution for the PC, but it will require at least a GTX 1080 to run with max settings.
How to avail of the promo?
Head online to the GeForce website, select your location and find a physical shop or online retailers offering the promotion. We recommend to strictly follow what the website says since lots of scammers may take advantage of this news.
When can we avail this promo?
The promotion will start today and ends on Oct. 30, a fair amount of time to save up for that GTX 1080 or GTX 1070.
How about just purchasing the game for both PC and Xbox One?
Yes, this is possible via Xbox Play Anywhere. You can purchase the PC version and get an Xbox One copy for free.
Cross-play?
Yes, again! As you can play coop modes across PC and Xbox One except for online multiplayer, so ready those LAN cables for your weekend Gears 4 party.
Gears of War 4 rolls out Oct. 11 for both PC and Xbox One. Save up as early as now. In the meantime, enjoy the 4K gameplay below:
